MAJESTIC THEATRE.

In "The Silent House," which is being shown .-it the Majestic Theatre the principal parts are taken by Mablo Poulton, Gilbert M'Lauchlin, and Arthur Pusscy. The scene ot tho nvat nuts of the melodrama is laid in China, where two British tra.iers, Richard Winsford und his partner, Legnrde, visit Dr. Chan Fu—scientist, hypnotist, and Chinese mandarin—iv order to obtain a valuable trading concession. Winsford Is dazzled by a wonderful ruby and steals it. In the mad hue anoScrj that tollows, Legarde is shot down, while Chan i'u and his brigands capture Legarde's daughter whom, ho ■ brings -under -.his hypnotic, power, and uses as a means to wreak his vengeance oh- wlnslord. He traces' Winsford to England; and there a well-planned "accident" puts an end to the purloiner of the

"Star." The ruby,-however/is nowhere to'be found. , Wlrisford's nephew. Captain George Winsford, takes possession of. his uncle's old English mansion, and there is a battle of. wits between Chan Fu and the young heir. The 'unravelling of tho mystery, and the love interest interwoven throughout the plot, make a most appealing story. Tho supporting programme is splendid. A One musical programme is supplied by" tho Majestic Orchestra, under the able conductorship o£ Mr. George Ellwood. The Yorke-Grey combination present a fascinating stage divertissement.
